Zohran Mamdani Fights Back After Trump Threatens to Deport NYC Mayoral Nominee Over Communist Claims

In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. During a tour of the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida, Trump called Mamdani a “communist” and claimed, “we don’t need him in this country.” Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian American and U.S. citizen since 2018, has fired back — refusing to be intimidated and calling Trump’s words “an attack on democracy.” This video breaks down the explosive exchange, the rising tensions in the 2025 mayoral race, and why this moment could redefine the political landscape of America’s biggest city. #ZohranMamdani #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCMayorRace #TrumpSpeech #DeportationThreat #USPolitics2025 #ICE #ImmigrationDebate #CitizenshipCrisis #DemocraticSocialist #FirstMuslimMayor #TrumpControversy #BreakingPolitics #OneindiaNews ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.125~

Pragya Thakur, 6 Others Walk Free in Malegaon Blast Case—After Shah's ‘No Hindu...Terrorist' Remark

Seventeen years after the deadly 2008 Malegaon blast rocked Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused — including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit — citing lack of concrete evidence. The judgment came just one day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that "no Hindu can ever be a terrorist." The court emphasized that terrorism has no religion and that justice cannot be based on public perception or moral bias. This landmark verdict reignites debates on communal narratives, judicial process, and political influence in terror trials. #MalegaonBlast #PragyaThakur #AmitShah #HinduTerror #CourtVerdict #BreakingNews #IndiaPolitics #NIA #JudicialSystem #TerrorismDebate #CommunalPolitics #JusticeInIndia Also Read 2008 Malegaon Blast: Here Is The Timeline of The Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/2008-malegaon-blast-here-is-the-timeline-of-the-case-7816633.html?ref=DMDesc Pragya Thakur Makes Bhopal Girl Watch ‘The Kerala Story’, She Elopes With Muslim Days Later :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pragya-thakur-makes-bhopal-girl-watch-the-kerala-story-she-elopes-with-muslim-days-later-3570005.html?ref=DMDesc BJP MP Pragya Thakur booked in Karnataka over 'keep your knives sharp' remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-mp-pragya-thakur-booked-in-karnataka-over-keep-your-knives-sharp-remark-3505152.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~
